Hello,
I understand your point, the shortcode [wpdm_all_packages] has its own default interface.
However, I believe that this interface is quite limited because it does not provide the option to filter by category using a dropdown selection.
I know that your current system allows category filtering by clicking, but the downside of this approach is that when there are many categories, most of them will not appear on the main view.
More importantly, when using [wpdm_all_packages], the system tries to load all records at once, which causes heavy load and sometimes fails to open the page.
For example, we currently have over 5,000 records, and when the page is loaded, it can take more than a minute or even show a “failed to load” message.
Ideally, it would be better if only the first 20 records were loaded initially, and when the visitor clicks “Next,” the next set of results is loaded, this would make the experience much faster.
Do you have any customized toolbar or optimized solution that can handle this scenario, where pagination and category filtering can work together efficiently for large datasets?
Thank you
